I had a dream about somebody I used to know. I'm not really sure how I feel about it,however. A year ago I was seriously enamored with this young lady. For a time I would regularly have dreams about her,most were very positive. Things did not end well between us,unfortunately,so I eventually moved on and thought I had put the situation behind me. Apparently not,it would seem.

In the dream,I was in this big rectangular room with yellow walls and white tile baseboards. It might have been a library,not really sure. Wherever it was,they had computers. I walked to the first table I saw and sat down. There was a white flat panel computer on top of the table. I went to Facebook and started to look for this lady's page to see if she had posted anything new. I started typing in her name but was having a bit of trouble with it. First I misspelled her first name (added an extra letter),then I got hung up trying to remember how her last name was spelled.

This old lady who was in the room,and I assume knew my former crush,spoke to me. "Jessi moved,you know?" she said. "To Gene Ridge,Tennessee," She walked up beside me,pressed the backspace key,then typed r-e-y at the end of Jessi's last name. That wasn't right. I knew it wasn't,but the page I was looking for popped right up.

My sister came into the room and took a seat next to me. She heard what the old lady told me. "I thought she said she was moving to Kentucky or Tennessee or somewhere like that," A picture of Jessi and her husband came up on the screen. Both were wearing blue aprons and tan baseball caps. He stood behind her,his hands on her arms,his chin resting on her shoulder. They were both smiling. It almost made me sick to have to look at those phony,plastered on,shit-eating grins. "Yeah,see? Gene Ridge Baking Company," My sister pointed to a sign hanging in the background. I felt stupid because I realized I might have found her easier had I known that. Then I felt bad because I knew she was gone,probably for good,and we'd never see each other again. It didn't really make sense that I should feel that way since we were on bad terms.
